He added: “There remains an unauthorised encampment located on private land at Napier Road. While it is the landowner’s responsibility to take court action to remove the travellers, we will provide advice to them on legal processes should this be required.”

Julie Bagwell, a resident and independent chairman of the Hamworthy Safer Neighbourhood Team, says that fears have been raised among residents as to where the caravans and motorhomes from the Turlin Moor site may turn up to next.

She added: “Until the travellers have all left the park, we do not know how quickly or how long it will take for the council to clear up the site.

“The skips should have been brought in on Friday last week, rather than leaving it until the Monday, as the travellers have been bagging it up and placing it on a pile. However, with the wind and a large group of seagulls attacking it, the rubbish has blown across the rec.

“The main issue is that we don’t know where they will go next, but if it is the site near Rockley Park, the residents could be in for worse conditions than at the moment.

“The residents have complained of dogs barking and fighting, the electric generators constantly running, and trees being cut down to make more room.”

If i went to a council owned park with my family, cut off the padlock, drove onto the park, set up camp and trashed the place with litter i would be thrown into the cells. Why dont the police go down there and sort it out!

What exactly do we pay police for?

So where did the other comments go. I did not see anything that was offensive.
I will re-state what I said earlier
Had Poole Council approved the temporary transit camps they would not have met the demand and the travellers would say they want to be together so would not have used Marshes End. Good job we saved £250k.
As there has been offences committed why has no action been taken.
We need changes to the laws but we also need the existing laws enforced

More rubbish for them to clean up when they leave. Also if there is anti-social behaviour why arent the police giving them fines like they do everywhere else. Wonder where they will go next?

So reasonable question let's have an answer from police or council, or perhaps a government minister.

This is totally untrue. Many people around Poole, included the businesses adjacent to the site and people from outside the area lodged objections to the proposals in terms of suitability of the site. Joe Jones of the Gypsy Council said they would not use the site because of safety and pollution by traffic fumes, light and methane aspects and would move on to private land instead, which would have given the residents the same complaints as they have now. The Planning Committee agreed that the site was unsafe and unsuitable. All the comments and reasons for refusing planning permission are still available to view on the Poole web site. Check it out.

Besides which the 12 proposed pitches wouldn't have accommodated the 28 caravans and motor homes on Turlin Moor rec. Where do you think the other 16 would have gone?
